but the machines in the story do not actually know anything about the plans of the buyer. they are guessing. and a lot of them are involved in this guessing now. it seems logical that this would create instability.

p.s. how does moderation on this site work? i have been downvoted, and i wonder - is this an act of some admin moderating, or do users with sufficient karma get a downvote button and one of them simply dislikes my comment?..

reading about the stock market is always kinda disgusting to me. "If a speculator believes AAPL is undervalued, he buys a bunch of shares of AAPL. This drives up the price until AAPL is no longer undervalued - then the speculator can s

well, OK. I guess I should cease and desist from complimenting the Oracle DB. it is a great product, though it did always seem that they deliberately obfuscate documentation and make friendly tools and resources unavailable just to feed the

ah, ok. i understand what you mean now. i would not say that it is already won, though. only a minority of US states recognizes gay marriage, and over 70 countries (if i remember correctly) worldwide criminalize homosexuality. and even when

re.1 - well, not as serious repercussions as implied in the comment above, that was my point. i'm sorry, but i cannot subscribe to the idea that i should either abandon Mozilla completely or never criticize it's choice of CEO. (no

OK, you got my upvote ;) not just because you're for gay co-adoption, but because you really make a strong case. i was really not that upset about all this, until i read the interview today. he really turned out sleazy, equating himsel

no, i'm just pointing out that there is no need to launch any kind of crusade against Mozilla, as the parent implied. it isn't such an XOR situation - either accept everything Eich does, or drop Mozilla altogether. i'm still

a) who is "them"? :) don't get me wrong, i respect the anti-marriage attitude, it's a legitimate position. but it's not fair to bring it up when the topic is marriage equality. even if you're against marriage,

well, for one thing, some people stick to their opinions. and say them, loud and proud. or, on the other hand, they keep them to themselves, fully aware that they might bring bad publicity to their work. Eich does not seem to have decided t

actually, Eich could just step down. problem solved. no need for all the drama, dude ;)

a) why is it that people suddenly realize that marriage is useless when gay marriage is debated? it's really off topic on this thread. b) "The tactic .. does not work" - this is just plain false. many important social changes

using such argumentation one can dismiss any protest one does not like. a protest is a perfectly legitimate form of political action, and is the only proven effective method of achieving change in this type of thing.

"we would be bitching"? you too? :) i'm pretty sure i have the right to protest what ever i want, regardless of how irrelevant my life problems may seem to you, and regardless of how easy it is for you to ascribe them all to

i dislike this spin here. boycotting a company, asking for resignations, these are common methods of protest. yet, when LGBT people do the same, we are being "exclusive"? we must accept any kind of views of Mozilla's CEO, oth

this headline is misleading click-bait. the customer recovered only his/her own Droplet, not someone else's. and the DigitalOcean explanation is perfectly reasonable. they should only perhaps improve their UX to not surprise users

I agree that some markets have a greater tendency for forming natural monopolies. I think the reason for the desktop OS monopoly tendency lies in the fact that developing software and drivers for multiple operating systems is expensive. Thi

this is a natural tendency of the truly free market, this conglomeration. regulation is required to prevent it. free market != competitive market.

I'm sorry that I cannot read your letter more thoroughly right now, but I'll give you one little piece of advice after reading the first couple of paragraphs. A word of warning, basically: Remember what inspired you down your path

"we are all".. "we all agree".. a bunch of commenters on a news site don't all have the same opinion on everything. go figure.
